Theatre Majors (On Stage) prepare a scene study project. Each counselor group will have approximately 4 hours with an acting coach, to plan a scene to perform for the camp. Additional rehearsals will be conducted by the counselors. All scenes will be performed for the entire camp. The main goal is to collaborate on a performance piece and present it for critique, thus, making it a learning experience. The 'process' is more important than the 'product'. Some and only some scenes are chosen to be performed at the end of the week. There is not usually time to do all the scenes. We choose scenes depending on how prepared they are, and how different they are from the other scenes. We look for contrast and variety in the show. If your scene is not chosen for the show at the end of the week, please realize that the real goal of preparing a scene and performing for your peers has already been reached. Be proud of your work and focus on what youve learned and how much fun it was.

On Camera Majors (Video) prepare a mini movie. This could be a movie trailer, soap opera, commercial, music video, etc. Students and counselors will brainstorm for story ideas. We will have a video preparation workshop with the video crew to discuss ideas. The crew will help with organizing your script and story board and develop shooting ideas. The group writes, casts and shoots the video and our crew edits it. Videos are shown at the end-of-the-week show.

Dance Majors (Choreography) prepare a strong piece of choreography with their group. This will include contributions from each and every student. Feel free to bring a variety of ideas and music choices. The process is the major goal. Some dance pieces will be performed during the end-of-the-week show. All dance majors must bring leotards, tights (at least 1 pair of tan tights), proper dance shoes, and wear their hair up.

Musical Theatre Majors prepare a song and dance production number for performance during the end of the week show.
